Chapter 18 There is a strict father in the family
Whenever she heard Yu Niang's words, Gu Qing always smiled and agreed, and she was really unwilling in her heart, she didn't want to be afraid of this and that like her mother, but she was always worried about it by others.
Just in response to that sentence, people are good and are bullied.
However, since Gu Ning left the house, the house has become quieter, and the willow leaves have also converged a lot, plus they have been sick recently, and they have no spare time to toss others, so that Gu Qing and the others have also ended up with a few clean days.
The sun shines on the window lattice, and the jade lady sits in front of the window embroidering a purse, on which a very small magpie is embroidered, and the workmanship is fine. The sun was too dazzling, Ah Huan covered it up a little, and when she saw the purse in Yu Niang's hand, she couldn't help but praise: "Madame is skillful, you see this magpie of the good news, the embroidery is really good." ”
"It's just that I've learned it before, and I know some skills." If you are free, I will teach you personally, otherwise what will happen if my craft is lost in the future?" As he spoke, he set his eyes on Gu Qing.
Ah Huan heard this joke and knew that she was deliberately angry with Gu Qing, so she replied casually, "Madam said that she was laughing." ”
Gu Qing just listened, and didn't go to his heart. However, she didn't have a calm heart, and she had nothing to do, so she randomly flipped through two books describing history from Master Gu's study, and after reading them twice, she threw them aside at will and began to take a nap.
In her dream, she saw the white clothes again, shining like stars, floating in the sky.
Gu Qing wanted to catch him, even if it was to grab a corner of his clothes, so he ran hard, trying to catch up with his footsteps, seeing that his figure was in front of him, Gu Qing struggled, pounced hard, hugged his back tightly and smiled, "I caught you." ”
When he turned around, Gu Qing's smile suddenly froze and he woke up from his dream.
It's okay if you don't wake up, but you can't wake up.
She was wondering if the corner of the clothes she had caught in her dream was so real, it was just like the real thing. Her head slowly rose from the table, she seemed to be holding a piece of clothing in her hand, and her eyes slowly moved upward, and the majestic face in front of her made her eyes open immediately.
Gu Qing wiped the corners of his mouth, quickly stood up, and shouted, "Father...... Father. ”
With another glance of his eyes, Yu Niang and Ah Huan sat aside and discussed embroidery by themselves. Gu Qing was embarrassed, is this still his mother?
"What did you dream of? Come, tell me and listen to my father. Master Gu retreated to the chair next to him and sat precariously waiting for her answer.
Master Gu's sudden appearance really startled Gu Qing, I heard that he had been busy with official business recently and rarely returned home, so he forgot about him after a long time of not seeing him.
"I didn't ...... Didn't dream. Her fingers twitched the corners of her clothes and her head drooped.
Master Gu glanced at her coldly, and then turned his gaze to the saliva soaked books on the table, which was the out-of-print history he treasured, and it was ruined by Gu Qing like this, and his two beards stood straight up in anger.
Gu Qing hurriedly turned over the wet side, her father's expression was in her eyes, and she shouted in her heart, it's over, it's over, and now she was caught.
Time stood still for a long time, and Yu Niang did not help Gu Qing speak. To tell the truth, Gu Qing is strange and afraid of this father, what is strange is that she has lived for sixteen years in her previous life, and she has never felt a little bit of fatherly love, and what she is afraid of is that there are always shadows in his calculating eyes that others can't see clearly.
"Go tell the butler that I'm here for dinner tonight. Master Gu commanded.
Ah Huan immediately responded, put down the needle and thread neatly, and ran out.
Gu Qing thought about it, the last time his father ate and stayed overnight in the Mei Courtyard, it was a few months ago, thinking that Liu Ye had been sick recently, and Master Gu didn't want to be unlucky. In the house, only the housekeeper and Yu Niang dared to straighten their waists and talk to him, and Liu Ye, although her temper was a little harder, but after all, she loved her husband, plus she often bullied Yu Niang, her heart was always empty, and she became unconfident in front of Master Gu.
Seeing Gu Qing's absent-minded look, Master Gu thought about whether to reprimand her a few words, he had also heard about what happened before, this little daughter didn't like him in the first place, and she was full of fun all day long.
Since that day, after the emperor went to the palace to petition, he saw that the emperor seemed to pay attention to Gu Qing, so he thought about sending her to the palace, but after thinking about it, Gu Qing was too young after all, if he offended people by speaking and acting in the palace in the future, it would not be good for him, so he decided to let Gu Ning enter the palace.
"The master is tired, the concubine will rub your shoulders. Yu Niang glanced at Gu Qing and motioned for her to flee the scene. Gu Qing couldn't wait to get away quickly, so he found a reason to escape with his calves flicked.
Yu Niang has always been gentle and understanding, chattering about homely things, and rubbing Gu Gu's shoulders gently at this moment makes him feel better.
Unconsciously, Yu Niang talked about Gu Qing's marriage.
Master Gu grabbed Yu Niang's hand and asked her to sit down beside him, rubbing his fingers against her smooth skin, and sighed slightly: "Yu Niang, I also thought about Qing'er's marriage, and I originally planned to let her enter the palace, but I thought about it, Qing'er is simple-minded, and she may not be suitable for life in the palace." ”
When she said this, she agreed, and she really didn't worry about Gu Qing entering the palace, although she said that there was endless glory and wealth in the palace, but those days were really difficult, and I don't know what Ning'er will become in the future?
"Which family is your favorite?"
Master Gu shook his head, "Qing'er is stubborn, and no one has come to the door to talk about matchmaking so far, let's just wait for this Qixi Festival to pass, first arrange Ning'er's entry into the palace, and then it's not too late to discuss her marriage." ”
Thinking about it, it makes sense, Yu Niang replied okay. Regarding Master Gu's decisions and practices, whether they are right or wrong, Yu Niang will never clearly express her opposition, even if there is a disagreement on the same matter, she will tactfully point out one or two and let him find out for himself.
It is precisely because of this that he is more loved by Master Gu.
Watching the maids carrying food boxes in and out, and also looking at the small dining table full of dishes that she had never seen before, Gu Qing swallowed her saliva, is this the benefit of coming with her father?
With Yu Niang's greeting, she finally got enough to move the chopsticks, Gu Qing was already hungry in the morning, and her eyes kept staring at the large plate of chicken in front of her, ready to go, and picked up the chopsticks and went to the chicken leg clip.
